Pauley 'Considers Withdrawing Name
Washington (UP) -Edwin W. Pauley today agreed to "take under advisement" a suggestion that he withdraw his nomination to be undersecretary of the navy.
The suggestion was made by Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, R., Mass., after Pauley had demanded without success a public apology from Sen. Charles W. Tobey, R., N. H., for the charge that Pauley sold oil to Japan shortly before Pearl Harbor
Saltontall asked Pauley whether if the Senate naval affairs committee vindicates him in the oil sales, he would be willing to ask President Truman to withdraw the nomination. Saltontall said Pauley need not answer if he didn't want to.
"Let me take that under advisement," Pauley replied. "That suggestion is not unique. I've seen it in all the papers. I just want to remind you that I'm still here."
Jerusalem. (UP)—Police arrested five thousand Jews in the Lydda area today in an unprecedented hunt for the terrorists who attacked three RAF air fields last midnight and escaped after a running gun battle with British troops.
What's Good for Rats Can Do for Husbands
Elkhart, Ind. (UP)—Mrs. Rose Masuth, 38-year-old mother of four, said today she tried three times to kill her husband so she could marry their bearder, and finally succeeded by spreading rat poison on his peanut butter sandwich.
In her two previous attempts, Mrs. Masuth said she gave her husband an overdose of sleeping tablets and turned on gas jets while he was asleep.
Mrs. Masuth and the boarder, Leslie B. Marjason, 55, were arrested Sunday on a morals charge, and authorities said Mrs. Masuth confessed the slaying. The morals complaint was brought by Mrs. Masuth's oldest son, Donald, 20.
Chungking; (UP)—Twenty-five thousand Chinese students and professors staged an anti-Russian parade in Chungking today as reports of similar demonstrations came from Hankow, Peijing, Chengtu, Nanking, and Tsingtao.
65 Under Arrest In Race Riots
Columbia, Tenn. (UP) — Fearcrazed Negroes who had believed that lynching parties were out to get them were calmed today after a night of rioting and bloodshed in which seven persons were wounded.
Five hundred state guardsmen in full battle regalia patrolled the streets of the Negro section, maintaining order.
Sixty-five Negroes were under arrest and 12 were charged with "attempted murder." Those charged were believed implicated in the shooting of four policemen during the night. The other wounded were two white men and a Negro. The disorders were the worst racial disturbances here in 10 years.
Detroit, (UP)-Top officials of the CIO United Auto Workers reported late today that no settlement of the 97-day General Motors strike was in sight and summoned delegates from all GM local UAW unions to a national conference here Friday and Saturday.
Meanwhile in Washington, the government was reported to be studying a plan to seize steel stocks in the strike-idled GM plants and divert them to other auto companies
French To Close Spanish Border In Slap At Franco
Paris, (UP)—The French cabinet decided today to close the French-Spanish frontier at midnight Friday, ask America and Britain to join France in a break with the Franco regime, and refer the situation to the UNO security council.
Unanimous decisions by the government in a long, clamorous session brought to a head the mounting pressure in France for a clear-cut severance of relations with Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
Communists, Socialists, trade union organizations and the left wing press had been crying for a break with Spain at once—by France alone, if the United States and Britain would not join.
Communist members of the cabinet were reported to have urged strongly that the break be made now. Members of the Popular Republican party were holding out for more temperate terms and a single-handed move by France would be premature and probably ineffective.
probably need. The closing of the frontier will satisfy one major demand of the powerful General Confederation of Labor, and save the government possible embarrassment which might ensue if transport workers took matters in their own hands and refused to handle shipments to and from Spain.
The tension became more pronounced today with publication of news that four additional Spanish Republicans had been executed at Barcelona. It was the execution of 10 Spanish Republicans last week, after their conviction on various charges, that kindled the fire under the present boiling pot.
Partnership Insures Peace, Halifax Says
The "greatest insurance" for future world peace is the partnership of Great Britain and America, Lord Halifax, British ambassador to the United States, told a near capacity audience in Hech auditorium, this mornin
"If the United States and the British Commonwealth had stood together the past 25 years, and the world had known they were together, it might have prevented the wars and misunderstandings that occurred," the speaker declared.
Lord Lady Halifax, who are the guests of the University today, will return to Washington tonight. Lord Halifax will be replaced as ambassador in May by Sir Archibald Clark-Kerr.
"When they are able to build the top structure supplying the federal arch that will hold the British states and the Indian states together, they will be able to govern themselves," he continued. "One of the greatest charms of the Indian problem, is that the farther you are away from it, the easier it looks," he laughed
Regarding the problem of India, Lord Halifax said the question was largely one of the Indians inability to organize.
A mutual understanding between the two nations, not between individuals, is important, Lord Halifax said.

Reynolds, Engineering junior; Walter Morrow, College Sophomore; and Robert Piper, Engineering sophomore, Navy V-12 trainees, were treated at Watkins hospital this morning for cuts and bruises received when an automobile registered in Piper's name turned over into the field south of the Mineral Resources, building.
K.U. Blows Cyclones Off Court To Win Big Six Crown, 69-41
Players 'Accept' Championship Calmly
BY DON PIERCE (K.U. Sports Publicist)
Like the prewar Yankees or Chicago Bears, Kansas' mighty Jayhawkers accepted their 12th Big Six basketball championship with happy reserve Monday after smothering Iowa State, 69-41, under a Niagara of points in hoch auditorium.
There wasn't any uniform tearing or hat smashing a la Babe Ruth and Dizzy Dean in the locker room as the laughing, steaming Jayhawks — Black, Schlindbacher, Peck, Owen, and Evans—filed into Robinson gym on the wave of their ninth consecutive conference triumph and their 18th in 19 contests this winter.
Most of the bantering took place in a "beat Oklahoma" atmosphere. The red and blue gang was happy over its title, of course, but every one of Phog Allen's fighting, hustling, slamming troupe, gave you the idea he wouldn't be completely satisfied until the Sooners were hurried Thursday in K.U.'s final hoop test of the season.
"Watch us go after those Sooners," yelled Otto Schnellbacher, the big, banging forward from Sublette who continued his late season surge with 14 points against the Cyclones. "We want that undefeated conference record."
"That's right," chimed in Owen Peck, the bobbing, soprano-voiced little quarterback who flicked in 10 goals against Iowa State for his biggest night of the season. "They'll be tough, the. We can't let down."
"And what a passer," said Peck.
"How does that Charlie do it," marveled Jordan Haines, newly-acquired rookie from Sabetha. "I don't see how a man can rebound with one-hand the full 40 minutes like that guy does and still have time to score 19 points."
"And what a plasser, sad Peck."
Black, a wheelhorse all season in every department of play, turned in another superlatively astounding game, whitewashing the board with that long rebounding claw which seems to magnetize the leather whenever he gets his fingers on it
"What about that record," someone asked Charlie.
"I'm not worrying about any record right now" the angular All-American rattled between sweatmatted hair. "The points will come for all of us if we play ball."
With his eight basket three-free throw performance Monday, night,
"The Hawk" moved within 16 points of Gerald Tucker's all-time conference scoring mark of 175 tallies erected in 1943.

You May Dance, or Drink Beer But Not Both, New Law Says
Iowa Stalling Halts Threat at Record
A new law passed by the board of county commissioners has set up new regulations for county businesses licensed to sell beer, prohibiting dancing in such places. If students want to combine dancing with beer, they will have to go out of Douglas county to do so.
Dancing without beer or beer without dancing. This is the prospect facing University students.
Roy G. Borgen, proprietor of the Dine-a-Mite inn, which draws a large crowd of University students
At least five places in the county outside the city limits are hit by the dancing ban. These are the Dine-a-Mite inn on West 23rd street; Indian Village, Route 3; the Blue Bird Tavern, Route 3; the Golden Arrow, Route 5; and the Alvin Deines cafe, 333 East 23rd street.
and townpeople said, "I don't believe the resolution, in-so-far as the ban on dancing is concerned, is wise, because adults and young people enjoy dancing as a popular form of recreation and will seek it in towns distant from Lawrence if not available nearby."
In explaining the reason for passage of the law, M. N. Penny, member of the board of county commissioners said, "We were merely setting up regulations similar to those which have been in effect in the city of Lawrence for a long time, with the idea of county establishments not having an advantage or disadvantage over similar businesses in the city. Certain conditions prevailing at some of the county beer-selling places, we felt, needed additional regulations to correct."
The eighth undisputed Big Six conference championship was captured by the Alpine Jayhawker quintet last night as they scored a 69-41 victory over the third-place Iowa Cyclones.
Kansas must yet tangle with the running-up Oklahoma Sooners Thursday at Norman before becoming official Big Six champs, but even if defeated by the southern team, K.U. will preside over the conference for the first time since 1943.
Stalling the last four minutes of the game after the Mt. Oread five reached the 69 point mark, the Iowa-Staters prevented the Jayhawkers from possibly breaking the all-time high of 74 points a game, made by the Cyclones last Monday night against K-State.
agilitie Owen Peck, flashy quarter-back and the only less-than-six footer on the starting quintet, pooled in 10 field goals to take high steering honors. Big All-America Charlie "The Arm" Black tallied 19 points with eight field goals and three charity tosses.
Before 10 minutes of the second half had passed Otto Schnellbacher and Black accounted for 13 more points and Hicks, the Cyclones starting forward, went out on fouls. The score rose to 54-30.
The alert Black, who may reach the all-time high individual scoring record in the conference, started the scoring last night with a tip-in after only a few seconds of play. Ron Norman, who nipped Oklahoma's chances of winning undiputate possession of the title by sending a field goal 90 seconds of play at Ames Saturday, came back with a long one-handed push shot to even up the game.
The count remained tied up to 5-all when Ray Evans, Owen Peck, and Black came in for three goals and a free throw to start the victorious march.

Kansas remained in the lead the red of the game and the 12-point difference Coach Menzue hoped to retain, lasted only during the half when the score stood 35-23 for Kansas.
